A Michigan Mother Is Charged With Murder After Her Son’s Body Is Found in a Freezer
A mother in Detroit has been charged with murder after the body of her 3-year-old son was found in a freezer Friday, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.
The child’s mother, Azuradee France, 31, was also charged by Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy with first-degree child abuse, torture and concealing a death, which are all felonies, officials said.
France was arraigned Sunday and pleaded not guilty, the prosecutor’s office told CNN.
The child’s body was discovered early Friday after police officers responded to the home to conduct a wellness check, Detroit Police Chief James White said at a news conference Friday. The officers found the child’s body decomposing in a freezer, White said.
